Draw and Order (A Paint & Shine Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
2nd in Series
Publisher: Kensington (June 29, 2021)
Mass Market Paperback: 336 pages
Appalachian artist and local guide Miranda Trent opens a new murder investigation after her Paint & Shine tour group discovers the remains of a missing hiker along an ancient trail . . .
For her latest excursion, Miranda is thrilled to take a close-knit group of rock climbers, the Risky Business Adventurers, up the challenging Battleship Rock Trail to paint and sample moonshine. But the outing is cut short when they discover a skeleton near the trailhead. Even more startling, the bones belong to Howard Cable, Miranda’s cousin…and a former classmate of the Risky Business group.
The sheriff chalks it up to a hiking accident, but Miranda isn’t convinced that Howard, an experienced woodsman, died within sight of a well-marked trail. So, with the help of Ranger Austin Morgan, Miranda sets out on her own investigation and discovers that the Risky Business group is keeping plenty of secrets. But is one of them hiding the truth about Howard’s death?
Cheesy Bits Recipe
Hello. I’m Miranda Trent from Pine Ridge, Kentucky. That’s in Wolfe County which is in the eastern half of Kentucky in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
I decided to start a cultural adventure business that touched on all my strong points. I lead a group of tourists on a woodland trail and as a group we create a painting of a sandstone formations. Then I take them to my farmhouse for a traditional southern meal paired with home brewed moonshine. The name of the business is Paint & Shine. I am so excited.
Sometimes, my clients need a quick snack before my cooks are ready with the main meal. In that case, I whip up these little snacks that do the trick.
Ingredients:
1 cup grated cheddar cheese or use a packaged cheese mixture
1 cup chopped white onion
1 cup mayonnaise (I use DUKE’S mayonnaise)
4 slices of sourdough bread (or any sliced bread on hand)
Equipment:
Small mixing bowl
Baking Sheet
Aluminum Foil
Parchment Paper
Spatula
Knife
Cutting Board
Measuring Cup
Spoon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Wrap baking sheet in aluminum foil. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit.
Mix chopped onions, grated cheese, and mayonnaise in the bowl until thoroughly blended.
Cut bread slices into fourths.
Heap about a tablespoon of the mixture onto each piece covering the slice to the edges.
Place on baking sheet with about a half an inch separation.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes checking frequently until topping is bubbly and browned around the edges.
Let cool for a few minutes and serve your cheesy bits recipe to your guests.
Makes 16 bits.
What’s your favorite quick snack?
